why are some people so rough on an arcade machine?

TOK:

I have a buddy that is a total spaz. He's really hard on the controls, and I think he physically moves 3 feet to the left or right while playing a game.
He pretty much sucks at everything because he's trying too hard and has no finesse. I tend to be really easy on equipment, whether it's mine or not.
I know he's not going to break the equipment, but I get frustrated for him because he's working his butt off for practically nothing.

I'd imagine most people here are finesse players, people that aren't regular gamers are generally the spazzes.


Carsten Carlos:

Very rarely I smash my hands on the controlpanel, but only in anger when games are really unfair.  ::) I remember a Xevious-clone on my Atari800XL named "Flak" where you often started surrounded by shots after loosing a life without any time left to escape!  >:( At least the Competion pro never broke.

Arcade games though are rarely that unfair, otherwise they would've beaten to death in a few days I guess.
